Love or generosity, Bronze sculpture in Zuidas, Netherlands
The five-meter-tall bronze sculpture combines both male and female characteristics, holding symbolic objects including an owl, arrow, and acorn in its right hand.
Created by French-American artist Nicole Eisenman, this public artwork was installed on November 27, 2020 in front of the new Amsterdam courthouse on Parnassusweg.
The sculpture functions as a welcoming guardian at the courthouse entrance, representing wisdom through the owl symbol and determination through the arrow symbol.
Located at the entrance of the ten-story courthouse building, this bronze statue with stainless steel pants and marble composite shoes is accessible from the public square.
The figure's curved posture and combination of materials, including bronze with rough patina, create a tender expression despite its substantial size.
